"The most ominous of modern perversions is the shame of appearing naïve if we do not flirt with evil."
– Nicolás Gómez Dávila
"All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."
– Friedrich Nietzsche (via iambecomedeath)
"In any case, I am quite aware that subtle and unconscious biases may color anyone’s work and I do not exempt myself from this problem. Issues related to deception and self-deception and issues related to attributional biases in favor of self, relatives, and ingroup should certainly not surprise an evolutionist. As a result, my strongly held view is that we must always err on the side of not censoring people."
– Kevin MacDonald

"Young people themselves should focus less of their expectation on marriage as romance. It never was intended to be only the means by which two people, lost in each other, should find happiness. They should never have been encouraged, or allowed, to think it was this. Marriage may prove a gateway to heaven, or it may not. Certainly it will not be all heaven. Bringing children into the world and rearing them properly is an arduous undertaking, and a heavy responsibility. It calls for intelligence, knowledge, training, and many of the virtues: notably devotion, patience, capacity for faithful and hard labor through long years, and much self-forgetting. As such, people should approach it with consecration, like that of a knight, or one taking holy orders."
– William Gayley Simpson (via eugenicist)
